that should not happen; the last info should not have been given out until you had returned to base after the first info (this happened yesterday on the Invicta Grimpeur; the question was stuck in the card half way round)
I've never ridden an Audax where all of the questions haven't been given to you from the start. Mind you, only a few have had near overlapping routes.
The INFO control venue on the Beacon CC 150km Cotswold Journey,,,, is on my way home from work.
Doesn't help unless the organiser picks an obvious question. "Name of pub" is just too easy. I knew the answer to one of the info control questions on Saturday's ride having ridden through the village quite a few times. I still did the 'extra' 20km to go get it though.
It looks like we're going down the old "it's easy to cheat" path again. It doesn't have to be so easy with info controls.
Here's what I'd do if I were setting INFO control questions if I were an organiser:-
1) I'd make sure that, for every info control, it was not possible to get the answer from using Google Streetview. Signs change, things are obscured, coverage isn't 100%, there are lots of things that can help this.
Sure this may mean that some people will have to get off their bike for an obscure info control (post box collection times or small number on telegraph pole being the usual ones) rather than just sailing past a big sign saying "Gt Bastardton 7" without stopping and remembering "7" but it's a minor inconvenience.
2a) I'd make sure that you couldn't ride the route in a different way to get all of the answers and come up under-distance.
2b) Or, more bastardly, if sections of the route did overlap (or run close together) I'd get the controller part way round to change the question on each brevet card (with a sticker or similar) and tell the rider(s) at this point. Bit risky though, you can't guarantee everyone will take remember.
